CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America.

Marvel has announced today that Hugo Weaving as been cast as The Red Skull. I’m not sure what to make of this other than excitement because I totally dig Hugo and his workmanship. Seriously, the guy has been in every great movie has come out in the last 10 or so years. He was Megatron in Transformers and Transformers 2, was V in V for Vendetta, if you don’t know him from The Matrix and/or Lord of the Rings you deserve to be strung up.

Well, I wouldn’t qualify the Transformers movies as great cinema, but you get my point.
